Herb-Grilled Corn (Ww)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:16:15 -0400

We enjoyed this corn (only 2 points/ear). The original recipe (WW cookbook Sizzle It) uses fresh herbs which I didn't have except for cilantro, so I used dried herbs with delicious results. Although this serves 4 -- this is very easily adjustable depending on how many ears of corn you have. -- posted by ellie_

Marmie's Baked Potatoe Supreme

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:31:10 -0400

It seems silly posting something as simple as a baked potatoe, but this is sooo darn good! I created this when I was eighteen and we did a lot of entertaining...usually bring your own meat bbq's lol. I like it because it has everything in it, including it's own bacon bits, travels well, can be prepared ahead of time and gets rave reviews every time and is most always requested. Note: Depending on what meat I am serving I will add an appropriate herb to my potatoe eg: if I am cooking lamb I will add rosemary to my potatoe. You can let your potatoe cook longer to get that delish crispy peel....nummy. -- posted by Marmie's

Pioneer Drumsticks (Meatloaf on a Stick)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:45:35 -0400

This was a favorite with the kids on our camping trips in the Pacific Northwest. Take your favorite meatloaf recipe, prep it at home, freeze or use the first night out. Have the kids look for green sticks about the size of your little finger. Guaranteed hair-on-the-chest strength (!) for the weak-kneed who don't like touching "raw" meat. Serve in HOTDOG buns with your favorite HAMBURGER condiments. The original recipe came from a Lutheran Girl Pioneer camping-cookbook. Tried & true!

Shirley Temple Popsicles

During the summer time, I love to make homemade popsicles and other frozen fruity treats for my son and his friends. It fun and healthier than purchasing sugar filled novelties at the grocery store.

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:37:20 -0400

Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

My son, Gavin, will eat a pint jar of this salsa a day!! He doesn't like "chunks" so I can 1/2 of this then boat motor the other half before canning the rest for him. We like it hot; feel free to reduce the habaneros or eliminate them all together. WEAR GLOVES WHEN CHOPPING PEPPERS! When I was working up this recipe, Gav was the taste tester (tough job, LOL), hence the name. -- posted by Junesjam

Angelina's Restaurant Crab Cakes - Maryland

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:54:24 -0400

This is the original as it appeared in the "Baltimore Sun" as a recipe request, recently. This was also printed many years ago, but has made a new a recent appearance again paralleling the closure of "Angelina' and subsequent auction of the restaurant. With the sale of the restaurant this crab cake recipe goes along with it. History as follows from Angelina's website. "In 1952, Angelina Tadduni and her family began a neighborhood Italian restaurant in a row home in northeast Baltimore. Building upon its local popularity, Bob and Carole Reilly purchased the restaurant in 1968 and added several essential features to the Angelina's legacy. Among these were a renowned Irish pub (the first to serve draught Guinness in Baltimore) and the finishing touches on the celebrated crab cake recipe. The success of this signature dish made Angelina's name famous far beyond the old neighborhood, and the crab cakes began accumulating a list of awards too lengthy to include here. Visitors from across the country came to Angelina's seeking the best known crab cakes in a city best known for crab cakes." "This recipe is straightforward and unadulterated and what you will get are authentic Maryland-style crab cakes. The real key to making good crab cakes is the use of top quality crab meat, and very little filler as possible. It's equally as important to be very careful with the fragile lumps, as you don't want to break up the lumps that provide the best formed crab cakes you will ever see, and without over-mixing. Enjoy this recipe as this is a Baltimore staple, and what a tradition it is. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm

Aunt Linda's Refrigerator Pickles

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:54:24 -0400

This is a recipe that I grew up with my mom making. It's her sister's recipe. They are a little sweet, but still taste wonderful! You can tell summer is in full force when we are eating these!! I am totally estimating the servings, I have no idea how many servings it is. A gallon jar should feed a lot of people. It only lasts us a few weeks in the fridge (we eat them pretty fast). I put the cooling time as the cooking time, but that still doesn't include that you need to steep these in the fridge for a week before you eat them. -- posted by enestvmel

Kiwi, Strawberry and Grape Juice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:44 -0400

I got this recipe from 'The top 100 juices' by Sarah Owen, published by Lifetime Distributors, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "All three fruits in this juice provide a massive infection-fighting boost of vitamin C and can help to shorten the duration of a cold. The kiwi fruit a also contain lutein, a phytonutrient known to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disease. Both strawberries and grapes are high in ellagic acid, which neutralizes carcinogens. The tannins, flavones and active compounds in the grapes combine to make them energizing and strengthen the cell walls of blood vessels" You could make more than one serving, and serve with lemonade and ice in a punch bowl for a party if desired. I haven't made this yet, as I don't have a juicer, but if I ever get one, this will be the first juice that I make. Enjoy! :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Cheddar Dill and Veggie Pasta Salad

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:58:43 -0400

Great summer side salad. I use extra sharp cheddar, because in my world, the sharper the better. The recipe calls for fresh dill, which I never have on hand so I always use dry, probably about 1.5 tablespoons, to taste. I do not remember where I got this, oops, so if someone knows, please let me know so I can put it here! Time to chill not included in cooktime. -- posted by SarahBeth131

Frozen Canned Fresh Corn

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:51:35 -0400

When the corn crop is good, I make sure to can as much of it as I can. I'm spoiled, because this is the only "canned" corn I will eat. If you can't have the fresh stuff, this serves as a close second. I freeze it in quart sized freezer bags and stock pile it in the deep freeze. This way, I get fresh corn all year long. -- posted by quirkycook

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:38:01 -0400

I just reviewed a Sugar Glazed Fried Green Tomato recipe on Zaar and it reminded me of a recipe I use constantly during the summer and it is not posted. My mother stated it was Swedish and my father stated it was German or Bavarian. Very simple and the marinating juice can be used in soups, stews or vegetable pies. Note: You can use raw sugar also. These tomatoes can be added to a simple lettuce salad and no dressing is necessary or served separately with juice drained. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Whole Wheat Pancakes With Blueberry Compote

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:00:10 -0400

This is a refresh of a Wholeliving.com recipe. Martha Stewart's gang opts for low-fat buttermilk, but I never have that on hand so I trade in 2% milk or vanilla soymilk -- depending on what's in the fridge.The added wheat germ supplies some potassium and iron (it has more than any other food). I also add a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I love it) and cut the whole wheat flour with some all purpose flour so they don't taste too "nutty." To make the compote, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries -- up the lemon juice for more tartness and up the sugar for more sweetness. -- posted by Kristine at Recipezaar

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

Better Burgers -- Seasoned Hamburgers or Cheeseburgers

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:10:14 -0400

One day, long ago, the pilot light in my oven went out and I didn't realize that my meatloaf was sitting there uncooked until shortly before dinner. I quickly made patties and turned it into burgers -- the best burgers we'd ever eaten. I tweaked at the recipe a little to get the proportions of onions and herbs just right and now the family turns up their noses at plain burgers. The herbs are unobtrusive but they bring out the flavor of good meat. -- posted by 3KillerBs

This is great to serve anytime! Makes a great lunch and a fine dinner if you toss a little wine and a loaf of crusty bread in the deal! You can use whatever vinegar you like, and can add, after tasting, more. Nakano makes several seasoned vinegars that are scrumptious! Smoked paprika is one of the best seasonings I've ever used; you can't believe how fragrant it is nd the taste is amazing. However, having said that, it is very pricey. I cannot advise you excpept to tell you that without it, the recipe won't taste the same. -- posted by FLUFFSTER
